Giuseppe, Arnaldo & Sons

22Jul 2008

>

Giuseppe, Arnaldo & Sons has been inspired by a vision of a third millennium Roman-style trattoria (usually an inexpensive or informal restaurant or cafe specializing in Italian dishes), to illustrate a contemporary idea of Rome within the heart of Melbourne.

We had lunch at Giuseppe, Arnaldo & Sons (GAS), located at Crown Casino on Sunday. The place is very dark… black walls, very dim lighting and all the waiters were wearing deli-look white coats (almost looking like doctors). I recommend that you go early as GAS do not take bookings and this place is always packed. Fortunately, we got a table after a 5 mins wait.

As soon as we sat down, we were offered iced water or sparkling mineral water. Next, came the freshly cut bread (grisini, ciabata and turkish bread), accompanied by extra virgin olive oil and freshly cracked pepper. We could see them cutting the bread around the bakery corner. Oh ask for seconds… they don’t mind lol.
